    Relying on unnamed sources, Jon Stokes at Ars Technica is asserting that the Apple's new A4 system-on-a-chip is based on a stripped-down Cortex A8 CPU, and not the faster A9 that some have been speculating about. The iPhone 3GS and iPod touch are based on the A8, though underclocked to 600 MHz to save power. The CPU on the A4 SoC is believed to run at 1 GHz clock speed.

    When the A4 was announced ...

    Sometimes I think that Apple knows how much the press and blogs like to follow its every move, and throws fake clues out there. This is one of those times.

    Apple applied this week for a trademark on the term “Magic Trackpad.” According to the US Patent and Trademark Office, the company identified the product or products that the trademark might cover as being any one of the following:

    The Ivy League brain-trust from Stanford University is trying to tell us something we already know, but with the backing of a formal survey to provide additional credibility. It turns out the iPhone is actually quite "habit forming."

    Nearly one-third of the two-hundred Stanford University undergraduates polled for this survey expressed fears that their iPhone is not only addictive, but ...

    Since many of us spend more time texting on our iPhones than we spend actually having conversations on them, perhaps there is a sizable audience of iPhone owners who will find value in the new TigerText application.

    The word "Tiger," of course, is likely invoked here as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the golf pro recently embarrassed before a global audience for his private-turned-public marital ...

    New iPhone owners are often told that the smartphone is simple enough for a child to use. Apparently, it's also simple enough for a child to build - an exploitative situation that is gaining international attention today for obvious reasons.

    In what can best be described as a disturbing find in an Apple audit, Cupertino has revealed (according to an article in BusinessWeek), that three of its overseas ...

    Grooveshark, the namesake of an online music streaming service, has finally faced the music: indeed, it will never be openly embraced by Apple or the App Store.

    Despite not feeling the love from Cupertino, Grooveshark made the logical transition to the repository of other wayward applications that we still love and can't seem to get enough of. This weekend Grooveshark released their app on Cydia. ...

    Steam is a digital distribution system for games on Windows/Intel-based PCs - what MacRumors refers to as "essentially a PC game App Store." Buzz has been spreading on the Web that Valve, developers of the system,which calls itself "the nexus of PC gaming," may be working on a Mac OS client. Intriguing hints were found of Mac OS X interface elements in the source code of the client's beta release, and the ...

    For months since the iMac with 27-inch screen was released in October, users have been complaining about various issues with the display. Apple maintained silence about the problems for months, until finally acknowledging that some screens had a flickering problems in December and releasing a firmware update to fix it. Now, weeks after issuing a second firmware fix that it claims solves the problem, Apple ...

    The Financial Times reports that the US news cooperative Associated Press is working on an iPad app that will give users access to news and sports direct from the wire service. The company's head indicated that they might be planning on making it a subscription-only app when it launches, continuing a trend in online news that has been spreading with some of AP's member newspapers, major content providers like the New ...

    The iPad isn't yet available for purchase but its already a foregone conclusion that iPad accessories will very well produce a thriving industry of their own.

    BusinessWeek, in fact, just dedicated a nice little spread to what will certainly become the "booming business of iPad accessories." Still a full month away from customers having the iPad in hand and already companies like Belkin, Scosche, and Griffin are ...

    Something tells us here at ModMyi that the folks at Palm are glad this week is over.

    As if Palm's announcement of lowered guidance yesterday wasn't bad enough, the real kicker came today - an occasion that Palm probably had higher expectations for. This morning, Palm said their Pre devices will receive a WebOS 1.4 update later today. If you haven't heard, that update includes Adobe's Flash 10 player. ...

    For only $15 a month, you can apparently add a second line to your iPhone. Using the new Application Line2, and VoIP provider Toktumi, that will allow you to have a fully functioning second line, including visual voicemail. This could be ideal for small business users, and for those of you that really love to talk.

    The service is available in US and Canada and comes with the first month ...
